That's more like it. And before anyone asks what else we can do... we can play Iggy and Admiral 15-25 minutes tonight.

Ross also needs to play a lot, he's been a great tank commander this season.

He has been.... but I'd rather just let Iggy take up all the minutes. We also signed Dowtin so he can play over Ross too. I don't want to see Ross just randomly light it up at the end of the season.

Pistons randomly up 20 on the Hawks at least.

Lol it's disgusting listening to the Thunder's coach and this broadcast talk about how much progress their team has made as the seasons progressed. They've literally lost 11 in a row and are parading out G-league lineups as they sit their healthy star for the 3rd straight season.

SGA needs to get the hell out of there.

OKC and Detroit have been playing this 'our players are healthy when playing playoff teams but not when playing against top lotto teams' game lately.

but why? they're tanking the right way. SGA and Giddey have looked great together and if they can add Jabari or Chet, they'll just need to round out the team with solid role players.... which is A LOT easier than our method of team building.
